Distal and anterior are adjectives that anatomists use to describe locations of various organs and tissues.

Distal - meaning "far from"

Anterior - meaning "in front"

Thus, if we were using the top of the heart as a reference point, the distal anterior wall in the heart would be the part of the heart wall that is distal (since we said the top of the heart was our reference, it would have to be at the bottom of the heart) and anterior (which would be the front of the heart).
